Colorized image of Venus taken by the Galileo spacecraft in 1990 during a gravity assist maneuver. The image reveals swirling sulfuric acid clouds and sunlight glinting off the upper cloud deck. Venus serves as a crucial waypoint for spacecraft headed to outer planets, allowing for fuel-efficient travel using gravitational slingshots.

Doppelter Besuch: Einen #VenusFlyBy haben aktuell zwei Raumsonden auf der Agenda. 🛰️ Heute Morgen flog @ESASolarOrbiter eng an der #Venus vorbei (06:42 MEZ, mit ca. 8000 km Abstand). Morgen, am 10. Aug. folgt dann @BepiColombo - in nur 550 km Entfernung, um 15:48 MEZ. 📷: @ESA
